Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce
This book was amazing – definitely her best yet. It is the second book in her Beka Cooper trilogy and it surpasses even Terrier. In it, Beka and Goodwin have to go leave the city (and Beka’s comfort zone) in order to pursue an investigation. I’ll leave it at that to avoid spoilers. The only thing I would have liked would have been to see more of Rosto. Overall, though, it was a great read (and over 500 pages!) and I devoured it in less than 24 hours. 10/10
The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong
Again, another second in a trilogy – and, again, better than the first. I felt like the first book was great, but there wasn’t a ton of action (besides that freaky incident in the crawl space). Well, this book totally makes up for that and then some. It follows Chloe, a teenage necromancer, as she and her friends (and sort-of-friends) try to escape their pursuers. There are some things explained that I was curious about in the first book and my hunch about one particular character was TOTALLY CORRECT. And we see a lot more of Derek, who happens to be my favorite character. 9/10
Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs by Molly Harper
Warning: this book will make you laugh until you’re crying which will, in turn, earn you odd looks from family and friends. Seriously, I laughed throughout the entire thing. Jane’s outlook is hilarious and her misadventures (she gets mistaken for a deer and shot!) still make me chuckle when I think about them. I was hesitant to pick this book up because I’m not crazy about vampires these days … but I am so glad I did. I’m eagerly looking forward to the second book (Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Guys)! 10/10
Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward
First off – I like this series. I personally think that the first three books (Wrath, Rhage, and Z) were the best. I read through this book quickly and enjoyed it … but I didn’t love it. In previous books I LOVED Rhevenge … but he let me down in this one (although there were some really interesting aspects of the sympathy colony). His love interest Ehlena was alright but I didn’t like her like I have some of the others female leads. Basically, I liked this book but I wish I would have waited for the paperback. 6/10
Blue Diablo by Anne Aguirre
I know I’ve mentioned this book before on the blog, but it’s worth mentioning it again. I LOVE IT. The fact that Corinne and Chance has a relationship before she walked out on him brings in all sorts of delicious tension. Both characters are incredibly (and believably) damaged – but still sympathetic. As usual (from her Jax novels anyways) Aguirre brings in a host of fantastic secondary characters that I hope to see in the next book. Basically, just drop what you’re doing right now and go buy this book – actually, while you’re at it go buy Grimspace and Wanderlust, too. You won’t regret it.10/10
